Service robotics
Service robotics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Service robots assist human beings, typically by performing a job that is dirty, dull, distant, dangerous or repetitive, including household chores. They typically are autonomous and/or operated by a built-in control system , with manual override options. The term "service robot" does not have a strict technical definition. The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) has proposed a tentative definition: "A service robot is a robot which operates semi or fully autonomously to perform services useful to the well-being of humans and equipment, excluding manufacturing operations ."

Why PIC 4 SeR?
Why PIC 4 SeR? • Many of the current research, innovation and development in the service robotic field, can be classified as disruptive technologies • Several uncorrelated research projects and industrial partnerships (already available inside PoliTO) must be harmonized and coordinated to optimize the results • To start a common workplace , a common knowledge and a common language • To develop an integrated approach and technology development process in this booming area • To help PoliTO reaching a critical mass in this sector (instead of several scattered initiatives) • To link together technology needs coming from several industrial partners • To start interdisciplinary didactic activities in this area • To join several international research communities with a unique “face” and coordinated research proposals
